Detailed explanation-1: -Because a lobectomy is a major type of surgery, serious side effects are possible. The most common risk is an air leak from the inside of the lung to the chest cavity surrounding the lung. This complication is treated by leaving a tube in the chest cavity to allow air to leak out while the lung heals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your lungs are made up of five sections called lobes. You have three in your right lung and two in your left. A lobectomy removes one of these lobes. After the surgery, your healthy tissue makes up for the missing section, so your lungs should work as well or better than they did before.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your doctor may recommend a lobectomy if disease has been found in a single lobe. Conditions that may be treated with a lobectomy include: Benign tumor-non-cancerous growth in the lung. Emphysema-chronic disease that occurs when the elastic fibers in the lungs break down.
